The main five scripts are seal script \u7bc6\u66f8, cursive or \u201cgrass\u201d script \u8349\u66f8, semi-cursive or \u201crunning\u201d script \u884c\u66f8, clerical script \u96b7\u66f8, and regular script \u6977\u66f8. Each script evokes emotions, whether the lyrical writing of poetry or the official recordings of historical events. The pieces of calligraphy within this gallery are examples of the various types of calligraphic script. Regular script is the most commonly used, providing a balance between each character. The cursive scripts have brushstrokes that leave the paper less often than regular script, creating a flow throughout each character and more wild emotion within the abstract elements. Clerical script is an older form of Chinese calligraphy, with wider and bolder characters. In modern times, it is used for decoration. Seal script is the oldest script - in use since the Qin Dynasty (221 - 206 BCE).The term \u2018seal\u2019 is used to denote its common use for the engraved text seen on seals, and can be seen in this exhibition after a signature in the paintings and calligraphic works. It is associated with carved seal stones.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today most Chinese people cannot read seal script, but it continues to enjoy popularity both in the ongoing tradition of seal carving as well as within the contemporary Chinese art world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like to listen rather than read, please click below.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_gallery et_pb_gallery_0  et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_gallery_grid\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_gallery_items et_pb_grid_items et_post_gallery clearfix\" data-per_page=\"4\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_grid_item et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_gallery_item_0_0\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/chinese-scholars-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/908\/2016\/10\/106.2015_Unknown-1.jpg\" title=\"Bamboo on Confucius&#039;
